Affordable Healthcare Benefits with Zero Copays
With the CHAMP Plan, The Policy Shop is providing innovative and affordable healthcare solutions that put employees first. Built on the principles of transparency and integrity, we strive to simplify healthcare benefits and help businesses maximize cost savings while ensuring employees receive top-tier care. Our mission is to empower individuals with better healthcare choices while enhancing their financial well-being.
What is The Champ Plan™?
The Champ Plan™ is an innovative healthcare benefit designed to supplement primary health insurance. It offers employees unlimited primary care and urgent care visits, 100% preventive care coverage, and $0 copays for essential healthcare services. Employees also gain access to unlimited prescriptions (for both themselves and their families) and 24/7 Virtual Direct Primary Care at no cost.
Beyond healthcare access, The Champ Plan™ integrates cutting-edge well-being management technology that encourages employees to make healthier choices, leading to improved overall wellness. Plus, with no deductibles, no coinsurance, and no worries, employees can focus on their health without financial stress.
Why does my paycheck look different?
Your paycheck will reflect additional line items due to your participation in The Champ Plan™. These include a pre-tax premium contribution, a post-tax premium deduction, and a Champ Plan™ benefit credit.
When comparing your paycheck with and without The Champ Plan™, you’ll likely see an increase in your net take-home pay each month due to tax savings and cost-efficient healthcare benefits.
Can I unenroll from The Champ Plan™ at any time?
Because The Champ Plan™ is offered through a Section 125 Cafeteria Plan, IRS regulations apply. Employees can only make changes during open enrollment or if they experience a Qualifying Life Event (such as marriage, childbirth, or a job change).
Is there a copay for the Virtual Direct Primary Care benefit?
No. Virtual Direct Primary Care is a $0 copay benefit available to all family members in your household.
My primary health insurance covers preventive care. Does The Champ Plan™ duplicate coverage?
While ACA-compliant health plans do cover preventive services, The Champ Plan™ is designed to reduce reliance on traditional insurance by providing cost-effective, faster access to care. By shifting healthcare utilization to The Champ Plan™, employees can lower out-of-pocket expenses and help keep their employer’s overall health insurance costs down.
How will I know when to participate?
Employees will receive push notifications, emails, and text reminders with important plan updates and simple activities designed to promote better health.
What happens if I don’t participate?
The Champ Plan™ is voluntary, and employees can opt out during open enrollment.
If an employee chooses to participate but misses their required monthly activity, they typically receive a 30-day grace period with reminder notifications. Employers may also be notified to help encourage participation.
